Business travel remains one of our largest sources of greenhouse emissions, accounting for 26% of the UK's total emissions. In an ideal world, no one would have to travel to work or events, some might even point to the way everyone adapted in COVID as a prime example of this in practice. However, for many that model of work is not feasible in the long-term. So, how can we reduce this unavoidable stream of emissions? Businesses are starting to take the right steps, however, today's guest is paving the way as a shining example of sustainable business travel and events management.   In this episode, Mel is joined by Christopher Truss, Global Sustainability Director at Reed & Mackay, to discuss their impressive existing ISO Standard portfolio and their journey towards ISO 14064 carbon verification.

[02:40] Who is Chris?: Chris has had over 20 years experience in the business travel industry. He is currently responsible for driving the sustainability agenda at Reed & Mackay, which includes the development of services and solutions that their clients require to meet their own sustainability initiatives. He also manages a wide range of third-party suppliers. A lesser know fact about Chris is in a band, playing the folk fiddle and singing in pubs around Yorkshire. He also plays tennis in the over 45 category for Yorkshire! [04:50] Who are Reed & Mackay? – Reed & Mackay are a global travel management and event management business. They help clients all the way from picking up the telephone and making bookings on their behalf, helping them source appropriate venues for their events and then managing the overall spend, the supply chain and ultimately reporting back to them on what they've been up to and how they can improve their processes and save money. Reed & Mackay are highly regarded for their quality of services, especially within the professional services sector, and they proudly boast a number of large blue chip clients. [05:50] What are some of the highlights in Reed & Mackay's Sustainability and Responsible Business Report? When Chris came into his latest role, he looked to tackle two main points: ·      How can Reed & Mackay operate sustainably? ·      How can we articulate that to our clients? As a result of the work Chris has done, Reed & Mackay have signed up to the United Nations Global Compact and have aligned themselves with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. They have also become an EcoVadis rated supplier and are undertaking their first Carbon Reduction Plan disclosure. From a corporate responsibility point of view, they have made great strides to improve their gender pay gap. They are also ensuring the integrity of their charitable partnerships. [08:00] What are some of the sustainability initiatives that Reed & Mackay have started? Reed & Mackay support a charity called 4Ocean, who are trying to remove as much plastic from our oceans as possible. They selected this charity in particular due to it's global reach, embodying the nature of Reed & Mackay's global influence in 13 countries for the past 10 years. They recognised the need to support a sustainability based charity as corporate travel is highly polluting, so this is a form of taking responsibility and looking at where they can assist to reduce environmental damage. 4Oceans also allows their employees to get involved directly, should they choose to take some time out of the office to help with ocean clean-up. [09:55] What ISO Standards are Reed & Mackay certified to? They are currently certified to: ·      ISO 27001 Information Security ·      ISO 14001 Environmental Management ·      ISO 22301 Business Continuity ·      ISO 9001 Quality Management All of which they have been certified to for over 10 years now! They acted as a foundation for Chris to drive his sustainability agenda. [11:10] How are these ISO Standards managed across the business? – Reed & Mackay have a dedicated Security and Trust team that manage all ISO certifications, in addition to their other responsibilities. All of the ISO Standards are a part of their Integrated Management System, which sits alongside their policies and procedures for the business that are managed by a central team. This has provided them with an invaluable foundation to ensure the delivery of quality services, client satisfaction and continual improvement. [12:45] What is the demand for sustainability within the business travel sector? They are receiving more requirements and requests from clients in regard to their own operational CO2 footprint, which is needed for clients own reporting requirements as Reed & Mackay would count towards many clients Scope 3 emissions. There is also a need for more transparency with carbon reporting, including the use of credible calculation methodology's. The verification of GHG emissions also gives clients more confidence that businesses are doing what they say they're doing. [14:15] What was the main driver behind Reed & Mackay gaining ISO 14064 verification?: While they felt confident in their sustainability efforts up to a certain point, they wanted someone to come in and mark their homework to make sure they were doing the right thing. With the increase in client demand for credible sustainability reporting, it was vital to pursue various CPD disclosures such as EcoVadis and prepare for upcoming legislation like CSRD. To ensure they were in the best possible shape to give the information requested by clients and other stakeholders, they needed am accurate and reliable method of verification, which is what ISO 14064 could provide. [15:40] What were the main challenges in obtaining ISO 14064 verification?: Just getting a hold of the raw data was the most difficult part, although they found it to be a very enlightening experience too. Having to dig to find the right information helped Chris to understand the business better, giving him a greater visibility on where their carbon emissions are coming from and where there are opportunities to reduce those. You have to be very tenacious to get all the necessary data. Chris highlights purchased goods and services data as particularly challenging to obtain due to its granular nature. Now they have been through this process once, they've got a system in place to make data collection a lot easier in future. [18:55] What impact has ISO 14064 verification had on Reed & Mackay?: It's helped from an internal perspective as people now have a greater visibility and understanding of the impact that have on an individual basis. This in turn creates a strong launchpad for their Net Zero strategy. From an external perspective, it's given Reed & Mackay a lot more confidence in their own processes and their ability to work with their clients towards sustainability goals. [20:00] What were the main benefits of getting ISO 14064 verified?: Giving clients, stakeholder and employees confidence: The verification calculation is reliable, and so they can be confident in relaying the facts and figures to interested parties. A great insight: The data has provided huge insights into how the business operates and where it's biggest emissions sources lie. This is vital to know before you take steps to try and reduce your current impact. Ability to create an accurate Carbon Reduction Plan: Once again, with confidence in having the correct data to hand, they are able to formulate an accurate Carbon Reduction Plan which can be realistically achieved. Anti Green-washing: Consumers are crying out for a reliable sign of credibility. Simply having an environmental policy statement may have been enough 10 years ago, but that's not the case now. People expect evidence of your sustainability claims. [21:50] Chris's top tip for anyone considering ISO 14064 verification: Just get started and don't be scared by the process. Though it may seem daunting to start, you will actually be in a much better position than when you started. Having verified data and awareness of where that data comes from and what it means on a larger scale will be vital to looking for opportunities for improvement. So, if you want to improve your sustainability, you just need to get cracking! [23:20] How are Reed & Mackay helping organisations improve the sustainability of their travel?: Reed & Mackay's ambition is to make sure that clients understand the impact of their choices at every single step of their journey. To help, they provide the carbon footprint of every booking they make, whether that be through their site or with a consultant. They also have approval processes built into their systems, which can be based on carbon. For example, if a client doesn't want to take the lowest carbon option on a particular journey, they can add required approval from an additional person within that client's organisation. So it adds a level of accountability over the choices people make. They also provide full reporting on business travel activity and where potential savings have been missed. This is a valuable tool if they need to provide travel data to carbon consultants for example, they'll already have all of those granular reports prepared. These reports will highlight where clients haven't taken the lowest carbon option, i.e. where they could travel in a group instead of individually. Reed & Mackay's intention is to make sure people have visibility of carbon alongside cost so clients can make a fair and balanced decision. Additional services include: ·      Able to set carbon budgets across a business ·      Ability to purchase carbon credits for offsetting purposes ·      Opportunities to mitigate carbon emissions through offsetting, or decarbonise through Carbon Reduction Plans over a period of time [28:50] Chris's book recommendation: His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman [29:15] Chris's favourite quote: You can't measure success if you have never failed – Steffi Graf If you would like to learn more about Reed & Mackay, and their sustainability initiatives, visit their website.

Being financially responsible is important, but sometimes, a little financial irresponsibility can add immense value to your life. As a business professor, I believe it's crucial to allow yourself those moments of indulgence—like buying ice cream just because it makes you happy. These seemingly irresponsible decisions can bring joy and meaning to your life. Instead of feeling guilty about every financial choice, focus on strategically adding pleasure to your life. Balancing responsibility with moments of joy is key to living a fulfilling life. Sometimes, spending a little on what makes you happy is the best investment you can make.

The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price.

Most brands will tell you they put the customer first. But how far are they really willing to go? For instance, how many companies make consumer needs priority over the fiscal bottom line? How many brands would be willing to recommend a competitor's product if it served their customer's needs better? Probably not a lot. In our newest frog report, 'The New Terms of Engagement' we explore these tensions with our guests and report authors Bhavesh Unadkat, Vice President of Brand, Marketing and Content Services UK, frog, Kerry Lee, Director of Commerce and Customer Transformation UK, frog and Christopher Baird, Global Head of Loyalty. At a time of unconditional responsibility, where consumers care more than ever about their purchasing decisions and customer experiences, with an eye toward sustainability, inclusivity and purpose, companies may need to change the way they act and communicate to meet a consumer base looking for more meaning in their marketing and commerce interactions.Brought to you by frog, a global creative consultancy. frog is part of Capgemini Invent.

This framework, known as the Ruggie Principles, was a three-pronged approach that included the obligations of corporations to uphold human rights, the responsibility of states to protect these rights, and the provision of effective remedies for any infringements. In 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously approved and endorsed the Ruggie Framework, otherwise known as the United Nations' Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.  Our special guest, Luis Fernando de Angulo, joins this podcast to analyze the Colombian private sector's experiences of upholding the Ruggie Framework. Specifically, we will discuss the private sector's successes, challenges, and areas to improve the supporting of human rights in the future.

How do we identify the companies that are truly "good?” We might look through their sustainability reports or tally up the awards they've received, but finding an answer is rarely simple—and it can depend on a range of factors, from how companies treat their employees to whether they practice sound governance.JUST Capital is at the forefront of this work. A non-profit organization dedicated to aligning corporate behavior with the values of the American public, JUST Capital releases its highly anticipated "100 Most JUST Companies" list each year to spotlight the businesses that prioritize their workers, communities, customers, the environment, and shareholders and governance over profit alone.Martin Whittaker, CEO of JUST Capital, returns to Purpose 360 to explore the recently released 2024 rankings, shedding light on what matters most to Americans today and what distinguishes the most “just” companies from all the rest.Listen for insights on:The American public's three most important issuesWhy “just” companies lead in financial performanceThe methodology behind the JUST 100Resources + Links:Martin Whittaker's LinkedInThe 2024 JUST 100Contact JUST CapitalThe Case for Purpose (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Just Capital • Martin Whittaker (01:50) - Martin's Background (03:28) - The JUST 100 (07:31) - Query Numbers (08:49) - Core Issues (11:10) - Governance (12:07) - HPE (14:06) - CEO Leadership (15:22) - Hard Results (17:16) - Surprises (17:53) - Other Stories (18:53) - Best Practices (20:38) - Responsible Business (22:07) - 5 Years (25:11) - Last Words (26:25) - Wrap Up

The value of history is a longstanding topic of conversation around the world. And it is even more so when the history is related to businesses and leaders. How many leaders and thinkers influenced business today? How important is history in business? In this episode, I have as a guest , professor of business history at Harvard Business School, we discuss his new book  We highlighted some of the characters mentioned in his book and how they had a vision with purpose and social responsibility. This conversation took place at Harvard Business School here in Boston.

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, and Jill Poet, Co-founder and CEO of the Organization for Responsible Business, or ‘ORB'.The ORB is a UK-based, business membership organization with a mission to create positive change for business and society by showing small businesses the financial benefits of being socially and environmentally responsible.Jill is a management accountant, but never just a back-office number cruncher. Having worked with small businesses her entire life, she takes a hands-on approach, affording her involvement in many different aspects of operations, namely project management. She has experience running her own small accountancy firm, and believes wholeheartedly that doing good is ultimately good for business.In this episode, Jill talks about her passion for small business sustainability, defines what it takes to be successful in the industry, the lessons she's learned along the way, and why small businesses are driving the future of business overall.—Guest Quotes“We have always believed that doing good is good for business. And, we've always taken that approach rather than saying that you have a moral obligation to do these things, but actually, guess what, If you do them and do them authentically, properly, it will be good for business. And weren't convinced by that then. They are more so now. And, I think, in the UK and probably in the States as well, increasingly, whether your custom is the consumer, private sector, public sector, they're all looking to buy goods and services from companies that have got those ethics and values.” - Jill PoetEpisode Timestamps(01:56) About the Organization for Responsible Business(04:43) Jill's background and getting into small business(09:41) Defining success in her work(24:55) Lessons learned and small businesses driving the future of business(28:29) Members and benefits of the ORB (32:52) Quick hit questionsLinksJill Poet's LinkedInORB LinkedInPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

‘We could build a future with shared prosperity'Migration has become a highly politicised issue. Yet labour mobility is hugely important to the future health of the global economy.  OECD countries are rapidly ageing and unfilled jobs cost the global economy 3 - 7 billion dollars every day.  At the same time, migration is one of the most powerful anti-poverty tools in the world today, with benefits from remittances - the money that migrant workers send back to their origin countries - far outstripping foreign aid.  Voices host Deborah Sagoe and Carmen Pedraza from IHRB's migrant workers programme, hear from Rebekah Smith, the Executive Director at Labour Mobility Partnerships.  Lamp is an organisation that believes in the power of movement to address some of the biggest issues we face in the global economy. Rebekah shares some startling statistics on the benefits that labour mobility brings to both origin and receiving countries.  She and Carmen also discuss the best ways to address these issues, given the major challenges that exist in current migration systems, and where as a migration community, we can help.   Rebekah will be appearing as the keynote speaker at The Global Forum for Responsible Recruitment.  To find out more head to: gfrr.org

Listen to the podcast here - https://www.northamericanag.com/north-american-ag-spotlight - The BeSure! Mission with Growing MattersIn this week's North American Ag Spotlight Chrissy Wozniak talks to Jeffrey Smith & Caydee Savinelli of Growing Matters. Growing Matters is a coalition of organizations and individuals committed to scientific discourse on the stewardship, benefits and alternatives of neonicotinoid insecticides in North America. Today we talk about the importance of neonics, what the industry could look like without them, and farming best practices when it comes to crop protection.Jeffrey Smith currently serves as Manager of Industry and Government Relations for Valent U.S.A. LLC where his primary responsibility is to develop partnerships with allied commodity and trade associations to advance policies supporting grower access to new crop and yield enhancement tools. Jeff also works with Federal and state regulatory agencies and legislatures on industry wide pesticide issues. Prior to his current role, he was a Field Market Development Specialist responsible for developing crop protection products row crop and specialty markets throughout the Midwestern, Southwestern and Southeastern United States.  Jeff also has experience in the retail sector of the industry, starting his career with Gold Kist, Inc.  Combined, Jeff has over 30 years of experience within the crop protection industry. Caydee Savinelli is the Syngenta U.S. Stewardship Team and Pollinator Lead.  In this role, she leads a team with goals of advocating, educating, and collaborating for stewardship of Syngenta products to provide farmers and golf and landscape professionals a variety of tools to control important pests.  The team provides a catalyst for change through Sustainable and Responsible Business and Good Growth Plan initiatives.  Some of the main areas of the stewardship team's focus are environmental issues, endangered species, pesticide safety education and pollinator and biodiversity conservation initiatives.

In this episode, I interview Professor Geoffrey Jones about his new book  Deeply Responsible Business: A Global History of Values-Driven Leadership (Harvard University Press, 2023). For an extraordinary introduction to the content of the book, please visit deeplyreponsible.com . Professor Christopher Marquis, author of Better Business: How the B Corp Movement Is Remaking Capitalism (Yale University Press, 2020) also joined our conversation. Deeply Responsible Business is a global history of deeply responsible business leaders. It offers an invaluable historical perspective, going back to the Quaker capitalism of George Cadbury and the worker solidarity of Edward Filene. Through a series of in-depth profiles of business leaders and their companies, it carries us from India to Japan and from the turmoil of the nineteenth century to the latest developments in impact investing and the B-corps. Geoffrey Jones profiles business leaders from around the world who combined profits with social purpose to confront inequality, inner-city blight, and ecological degradation, while navigating restrictive laws and authoritarian regimes. He found that these leaders were motivated by bedrock values and sometimes—but not always—driven by faith. They chose to operate in socially productive fields, interacted with humility with stakeholders, and felt a duty to support their communities. While far from perfect—some combined visionary practices with vital flaws—each one showed that profit and purpose could be reconciled. Many of their businesses were highly successful—though financial success was not their only metric of achievement. As companies seek to coopt ethically sensitized consumers, Jones gives us a new perspective to tackle tough questions. Inspired by these passionate and pragmatic business leaders, he envisions a future in which companies and entrepreneurs can play a key role in healing our communities and protecting the natural world.

In the past few years, hundreds of financial institutions have made big announcements about becoming net zero or carbon neutral by 2050.   But S&P Global Sustainable1 data indicates that many of these pledges don't address Scope 3 financed emissions, which come from the investments financial institutions make or the loans they finance. These account for the bulk of the industry's emissions.   In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we're digging into the steps financial institutions are taking to reduce emissions across their value chain. We speak to Laurent Babikian from environmental nonprofit CDP. We hear from Samu Slotte, the Global Head of Sustainable Finance at big Danish lender Danske Bank. And we talk with Antoni Ballabriga, the Global Head of Responsible Business at Spanish bank BBVA.   Read research from S&P Global Sustainable1 on how financial institutions are addressing financed emissions here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/financed-emissions-are-missing-from-many-firms-net-zero-plans   We'd love to hear from you.
